it’s tuesday, december 16, & moon is in libra, in the starspace called viśakhā. libra vibrates with the frequency of relationships, all of them—romantic, familial, platonic, collegial, long- & short-term. it’s where we get to pay attention to how we are showing up & how the other party is (parties are). if we are each taking care of ourselves, taking responsibility for our energy & our needs-wants-desires, the relationship will be in balance, in harmony, mutually beneficial. there will be equal give & take—maybe not every second, but on the overall relationship balance sheet.
“your partner will affect your nervous system, your decisions, your sleep, & your habits. if they can’t take responsibility for the energy they bring to the relationship, you won’t have peace in your life.”—jillian turecki, tinybuddha.com
how’s your nervous system? are your business/romantic/familial relationships jacking you up, keeping you awake at night?
when we take responsibility for our energy, others get to as well.
viśakhā is ruled by both indra & agni, often referred as the singular deity indragni. it gives us the power to penetrate through all obstacles by bringing together the forces of the king (indra) & the priest (agni), our ambition & our devotion. this nakshatra reminds us that it’s not one or the other, that our lives aren’t purely material or purely spiritual, that they are codependent in a positive way, work in tandem: our material pursuits keep a roof over our head & food in our fridge so that we can meditate, practice asana, or whatever without survival issues nagging at us, distracting us like a “bad” relationship.
it’s the twelfth lunar day (tithi), the twelfth phase of the waning moon, until about 11:30 a.m. MST, then the thirteenth. the twelfth tithi has the quality of sri, wealth—abundance in any & all manifestations. for some people knowledge is wealth, others connection, others piles of money. what makes you feel abundant? this tithi is also considered to be one of the most pleasant & conflict-free, peaceful—IN-joy that!
the thirteenth tithi removes all shortcomings & increases all auspiciousness (juiciness)—yay! the first of the last three tithis (new moon alert friday!) gives us a taste of moksha/liberation, of what lies beyond this mortal coil, can speed up our spiritual (or material!) growth. & this tithi + tuesday is a combo for accomplishment—use it well.
tuesday is ruled by mars, whose firepower is best used to fight the good fight, to fight for righteous causes, for underdogs, not to fight with others. if you’ve got some potentially lethal fire in your belly, go for a run, clean out the basement to burn it up.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a sort of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss.
